The left isn't doing anything to attract moderate libertarians. The moderate voter block is shrinking. Both parties are fielding more extreme candidates.
The left fielded much more extreme candidates an they greatly energized the democratuc base. And largely increased Democrat voter turnout in those states.
The GOP fielded about the same kinda candidate as we saw in 2016 and they only marginally increased voter turnout. The GOP was also highly energized but it didn't net the same kind of gains as the democrats.
The Democratic base is growing, and the GOP is only marginally growing, there will probably be fewer GOP voters in the future proportionally to what we had during the mid terms, even if the numbers are higher, it will be a lower proportion of the population by a percent or two. Maybe even 3.
Elizabeth Warren will really fire up the democratic base and is an alright firebrand if she doesn't try to SJW and goes for the throat. She's also not black. Like Kamala basically is to white people, more or less like me, no offense... It's not personal.
It's a complete coin toss what will happen and the difference of a few percentage points will decided 2020 no matter what happens.
I don't think either party can win over people to the left or right of the center. And really sway minds, an the moderates will mostly vote with the pack. I don't think the extremely socialist left can field a libertarianish candidate.
The right has a good chance, and has it in the bag if they ran a moderate that wasn't Trump.
